Nightlife and Entertainment in Florence

Nightlife activities in Florence are plentiful and varied - but most of all, many of Florence's nightlife activities don't require "going out" at all! Visitors can have a cocktail on the terrace of their Florence hotel and admire the city lights or they can take a walk through a square or across Ponte Vecchio while enjoying some tasty gelato. Sure, going out is fun too, but it's always good to know that there are many other (less expensive) alternatives to clubbing until dawn.

Now, if you prefer partying until dawn (and paying handsomely for it), you're in luck. Pretty people clubs such as La Dolce Vita ( www.dolcevitaflorence.com) and Meccano (via degli Olmi 1, +39 055 331 371) certainly have you covered. Florence also a large number of bars, Jazz cafes, and classical music performances to choose from as well. Get a membership (very easy) at Jazz Club Firenze ( www.jazzclubfirenze.com) to listen so some authentic Jazz, funk, blues or soul or head to trendy Harry's Bar ( www.harrysbarfirenze.it) for a few cocktails and some tasty American burgers.
